Discover this great wine from Château Capion, with its wonderfully balanced style.

"Made from a blend of destemmed Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, the 2017 Terrasses Du Larzac is medium-bodied to full-bodied and concentrated, with powerful notes of chocolate-covered black fruit, burnt earth, truffle, and garrigue. It has a hint of oak in the background, good fruit purity and great length, and I would bet that this is an exceptional wine." (Jeb Dunnuck).

Wine rating (2019 guide) 92-95/100 (Outstanding wine)

About wine:

The Terrasses du Larzac 2017, tasted as a representative blend of several barrels, is impressive.Violet, crushed pepper, vanilla, and blackcurrant are all present on the nose and in the long finish of this medium-bodied to full-bodied, fleshy wine. It may not be as concentrated as the 2016, but it seems more elegant and complete.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100

About wine:

An intense, full-bodied, generous red wine, blended from Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre grapes. On the nose, it expresses notes of sweet berries, roasted meat, warm spices, and cloves. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins. Dense, with a rich core of berries, sweet spices, and a compact finish. Ready to drink or keep.
